@ last anon - i really don't want to make a thing of this because i'm sorry about your dad but maybe when somebody brings up an instance of them losing their parent and not personally wanting to view said parent's body for what seems to me like a very valid reason, it's really not in good taste to pop up anonymously and talk over them. RJ is right. Just because you were fine viewing a body as a literal child doesn't mean every other child would be?? 'This works both ways' very much applies here.
I completely get that their words were in response to a point they misread and the assumption I was dictating how people should view death when I wasn't.
But on the flip side, we've stated enough times that this comic is based on our personal experiences and is not meant to be a blueprint on how everyone should deal with abuse, grief, death or whatever we bring up that I don't think it's too much to ask for the very first sentence of my point to be read properly before anyone jumps the gun.
Also what the second anon said (and what I also pointed out in my initial response): somebody going away peacefully =/= being brutally murdered. The state of the body is very much a factor to consider too, not just the mourners in question. I'm also very sorry for your loss too, anon, and what you endured in the aftermath. <33
Unless anybody needs anything clearing up off anon, that's the very last thing I think we're going to say on this because this got kinda personal very quickly and yeah, I don't want it to get out of hand. - RJ

sys culture is being the headmate really close to the body's mom (who died) and crying while watching anything that involves a dead mother and then proceeding to be stared at weirdly by the other headmates who weren't close to her

@eddiemonth day 2: friendship
Outcasts stick together. (tw for loss of a parent under the cut)
Maybe your mom dies, your dad gets arrested and you wind up on your Uncle's doorstep with your hair buzzed off and shoes that pinch your toes. But when you turn up to the first day of school a week later, your friend's got new tapes for his walkman and quietly lets you use it in the library at lunch. After school, before his mom's gotten off work, you stop at 7/11 for a pop to share while you read The Hobbit to him and count the yellow cars that drive by while you sit at the curb.
And maybe everything’s different and will never be how it once was, but maybe this is the one thing that will stay the same. You can sit with your friend after school drinking coke and reading Tolkien and talking about your shitty dads, and it might not make the load any lighter but at least you’re not the only one carrying it for a while.
When his mom invites you to sleep over that night, she makes you a grilled cheese sandwich, and it’s less brown than your mama made you, but it tastes like home anyway. She crafts you a nest of quilts in his room, worn soft and smelling like fresh linen. You’ll take turns listening to his walkman until one of you finally falls asleep, because neither of you have gotten used to a quiet home at night.
As the music slows with the dying battery, distorting but with the core of the song remaining unchanged, you drift off alongside it.

So, I have some mixed feelings about the Rise ending. I don't know, it's complicated. At the centre of the game seems to lie a father-son relationship and the lengths of approval. You are "punished", in a sense, if you decide to hand your heart to your father. But it does still technically "reward" you with approval in the good ending with his acknowledgement. I thought it would've been really interesting if Geppetto says the exact same thing as the Free from the puppet string ending ("I knew it, you're just a useless puppet") in the Rise ending, but in a different tone.
[I know this is a complicated subject, and I'm sure that many people may have some personal perspectives on this, but I hope people get what I'm trying to get at]
But after some time, I think that the apology is not really for the audience, it's for P. The apology is a worthy inclusion, not because Geppetto needs to be redeemed, but because without it, the only "wrong" option is to seek his approval. Maybe his acceptance isn't the "right" thing to want, or what we "should" want [I don't mean in a moral way] - but Pino isn't wrong for wanting it.
Or maybe he is, I don't know. But I think, despite everything - it's still what Pino wanted. and I think it does provide him with a bit more closure and peace than something else. (And it can do this while also not portraying it as the "healthiest" thing to want.)
And I think that's what they're showing us with the extra shot of him looking over the balcony. There's no other purpose of this scene [I mean other than establishing the next scene for the audience], and In his reality, it would've been completely silent. He's just looking at the view. Not even listening to music. And then he finally goes to sleep.

imagine dying and leaving your little kid, I bet simon was so fucking anxious; he didn't even got to say goodbye. and morri was so young! he was like a child mentally I bet, so I would be also worried for that little detail.
tw for parental death but its mostly just talking about simons thoughts about morri in the dead world + some post revive
he was extremely anxious! he knew morri was gonna find him like that, and he was reeling from how suddenly he'd gone. no goodbye, no i love you, no it'll be okay, nothing. he sort of stopped considering death as an option once the first 100 years passed, and since he hadn't felt any different at all, he had no reason to suspect he'd metaphorically implode.
now, morri is smart for their age, more like a naive adult than a teenager, but they are limited by the emotional maturity of someone their age. morri had never really dealt with death before, especially not death so close to them. he was so anxious for how it'd affect their developing mind.
he was especially concerned because he and morri were so closely bonded, he knew he was morri's favorite person and the only thing he could hope was that marceline would take over like he requested. he had faith in her, he knew she'd raise morri well. of course, he didn't account for morri getting powers and running off since they hadn't shown any sign of having their abilities since birth.
he also figured he wouldn't be able to see them again for a long time due to their lifespan, and just sorta buckled down and was like, surely marceline has it under control. and even if morri was young, and he was worried for them, they were strong and he was certain they would be okay eventually. though that concern never went away, and he didn't really get any news of morri's wellbeing. he did look for betty for a time too, since he hadn't seen her since before morrigan was born, but she wasn't around. he did enjoy his hypoallergenic pillow though.
in the resurrection timeline, when he was first revived he was initially in shock and incredibly disoriented, but his thoughts beyond "ow my face and head and everything" and "betty?" were all on morri. he mistook morri for betty because his vision was blurry on top of the mid eyesight and last he saw them they were prepubescent.
he did initially think that marceline had raised morri, they looked so grown up and put together! although with time he will definitely notice the uh. lack of a parental figure in their behavior and step in to be a bit stricter than he was in their youth. and he picks up some of their vocabulary

— blasting self esteem by the offspring down main street we’ve spotted VERITY MOREAU sporting their gold chained ruby necklace engraved with her family insignia . the twenty five year old DHAMPIR HYBRID who’s been in town for twenty years often can be seen sketching new designs in the park on a summer day, sneaking through the woods at night to clear her mind, singing loudly at the top of her lungs at the shop while bored, or working as a TATTOO ARTIST at NEON INK. people say they display imaginative and vindictive traits, but we rather trust their vibes: feeling the weight of ancient family values on your shoulder, being born into a legacy that bears the weight of the world, pink skirts and a dazzling smile with a tattoo gun in your hand, wanting to scream into oblivion without fear of being heard, the distinct feeling of wanting to go home - but not knowing where home is. also, we’ve heard they love COLLECTING ROCKS ! aren’t they fascinating ?
full name: verity adeline moreau
nicknames: v, ver, little vamp,
gender: cis woman
pronouns: she + her
sexuality: bisexual
age: twenty five
date of birth: april 10th
zodiac sign: aries
occupation: tattoo artist at neon ink !
FAMILY
parents: lucinda matthews ( mother, deceased ), andreas moreau (dad, sort of estranged but still in contact )
siblings: twin brother ( possible wc i dont know yet!!), two older half siblings (also.. possible wcs... think of a somewhat close but not really set of dhampir half-sibs.. running amuck in portum.... )
APPEARANCE
eyes: sea blue
hair: constantly dyeing her hair between dark brown and blonde... she's going through a crisis ok
piercings: ears are littered with piercings, has a septum nose piercing as well.
tattoos: a tattoo of four doves on her left wrist; one for each representation of her siblings, her zodiac constellation on her right shoulder, an alien pointing the finger on her ankle, a ghost on her other ankle & the phases of the moon only to piss her father off because he's a vamp <3 .
other distinguishing features: a distinguished air around her that she's better than everyone else, always wearing her family necklace engraved with rubies, a sarcastic smile on her face 24/7.
style: always wearing a splash of color unless her father's in town because he seems to suck the fun out of everything, loves skirts & dresses just as much as jeans and shorts. an avid fan of multiple bracelets and rings adorned on each arm & hands, always has her hair down unless, again her father is in town & she has to pretend to be the perfect moreau she knows she is not.
PERSONALITY
positive traits: creative, resourceful, independent
negative traits: vindictive, cruel, self-destructive
health: has dealt with depression her whole life, also has undiagnosed adhd
likes: collecting rocks, painting, photography, can play piano however hasn't touched one in years, avid history lover, gardening, baking, secretly loves to read comic books, tattooing herself in her spare time, also loves a bit of chaos every now and then
dislikes sitting down for too long, silent spaces, crowded rooms & mushrooms, fires, the familial pressure to live up to the moreau expectations and always falling short every time, got bitten by a deer once and now its on sight any time she sees one , also does not like moths.
HEAD CANONS/BIO. - TW: parental death !
turns out i cannot fully form a bio anymore so here are a bunch of headcanons and slight family history!! anyways, enjoy my ramblings <3
Verity is a girl who deep down tries her best to please everyone, even her estranged father & siblings, especially her twin brother. It doesn’t seem like it ; she is definitely one to march to the beat of her own drum, but she still shows up to the weekly moreau family dinners once a week, verity still answers her twin’s phone calls even if its two am and she hasn’t slept a wink. Just because she says she hates her family, doesn’t mean she doesn’t love them. After all she is a moreau in blood & defiance, nothing will break the invisible bond they share with each other.
To those who don’t know her she comes across as rude and obnoxious, but those who do know her see the vulnerable & childlike side to her that she hides, because to be a moreau is to be strong. But the weight of her familial expectations is crumbling the very foundations of herself, but verity still maintains an air of sophistication and being better than everyone else to keep others at bay. She has enough friends thank you.
She and the rest of her siblings are dhampirs, half-human & half-vampire; but verity has always seemed more human than the rest, especially her twin brother. She is the black sheep of the family due to her natural human instincts ; though she does have a liking to blood more than others, and verity for a fact is stronger than her brother, though he is faster than her.
Never had any interest in her father’s family real estate business in the human world ; though it seemed like her siblings were in a constant competition to be the best in front of their father, andreas, as they all wanted to take over once he decided it was time. While she wasn’t competitive with her siblings, in school she had always been ruthless and callous - needing to be the best was apparently a moreau trait, and she was almost always top of her class. She’d hide behind her intelligence like a shield ; verity moreau seemed as untouchable as she was charming and elegant.
Has been living in Portum since she was five ! [ tw ] when her and her twin brother were born, andreas collected them from the hospital as their mother had passed during birth, compelling anyone who worked that night to forget about the inhumanly intelligent new born babies who already had the strength of a three year old. [ end tw ] They spent a few years traveling with them while he built his growing empire in real estate, before returning back to portum and reuniting the twins with their half-siblings ( andreas had a problem okay, he cant resist the human ladies ), so they could grow up in a place where they didn’t have to hide who they were.
Verity loves being a dhampir; having most of the perks a vampire has while being able to walk in the sun without being bothered, she’s fast, strong but her hypnosis is weak. She doesn’t care to hypnotise people, verity would rather charm them naturally. Constantly flirting with everyone just because she can. Her fangs pop out of her mouth whenever she smiles, though they aren’t as sharp as full-vampires, they’re unnaturally longer than an average human. Growing up verity realised she had some influence over human emotions ( much like… jasper in twilight ok…. Dont @ me ) though as she’s only a half vampire, she doesn’t have much influence over the supernatural, but she also hasn’t tried. It kind of scares her, being able to manipulate the emotions of others, and refuses to learn more about how to - a constant thought and worry is someone accusing her of influencing the way they feel about her. Her father says he doesn’t care, but she can feel the disappointment radiating off of him sometimes, so verity gives him a wide berth because of it.
Verity hates moths & bugs, as much of a careless girl she tries to be if she sees one she will scream !
Loves to gossip !! verity is a gossip queen and loves to learn the intimate details of her clients at neon ink. Will usually yap their ear off while verity works, and has no problem showing them her cool little rock collection.
Will usually only leave Portum to collect said rocks and always comes back with a new obsession ; last time it was candle making, the time before that it was soaps and perfume making. Verity is obsessed with trying new hobbies and her little apartment is jam packed with forgotten hobbies - knitting, flax weaving, cooking, body lotions…. She just loves to learn things okay
Verity is a force of nature and she knows it, her smile always has an edge to it and her eyes will always twinkle with i can get away with anything. Is at her most peace when she has the tattoo gun in her hand and she’s humming a little tune.
CONNECTIONS -
these are just some lil ideas i got while writing... whatever that bio was shdjdkd but i am also up for plotting our own thing !
Best friend/s: she’s been in portum since she was five and i’d imagine y/m has adopted verity as one of their friends !! verity would have come off as a quiet, shy girl at first until getting to know all of her, but they love each other anyway!! Verity is loud and opinionated but she means well. They’re essentially ride or dies, bonus points if they have matching tattoos!!
Mentor/parental figure: as her father hadn’t been around for her important milestones, i just think it would be cute if she got close to someone older than her that seemed to be a better parent than her dad is dhefkkdd and would cheer her on from the sidelines, and possibly helped her strengthen her vamp abilities !
Bad influence: verity’s the “black sheep” of the family due to different interests in life, but this is the person who would have influenced her to make bad decisions over the years, and verity always goes to this person when her dads coming to town and she needs to relieve some stress by being a nuisance to society <3
Enemies: verity is hard to like sometimes and that’s okay ! she’s blunt, cutthroat when she wants something & will tear someone down to get what she wants because that’s all she knows. Maybe they’ve beefed since school and as adults they just dont mesh well! Bonus points for catty arguments that end in free tattoos <3

tell us about Silvia and her postcolonial fl story! 👀
Oh man ok!! text wall incoming!!
Silvia is of Central American Indigenous, Spanish, and Welsh descent, so lots of fun fun colonialism in her family background there. She was born in British Honduras (Belize) but moved to England as a baby where she grew up and got an Oxford education. After her Welsh dad was killed by police, her British Honduran dad moved back to his home country to advocate for independence from the British. Rather than go with him, Silvia chose to go to the Neath, where she'd heard there was a card game where you could win your Heart's Desire (aka bring my dad back!). She hadn't intended to stay but then she died during the Starved Invasion.
More recently as I have been flabbergasted with how poorly the Third City is written and thought, damn I could do better Silvia has learned more about the history of the Neath, she realized that there are like actual Maya people still walking around, and has become obsessed with the idea that if she could find somewhere the Third City survives, she could realize her father's dream of a homeland independent of colonialism. (Will she lapse into colonizer tendencies while she tries to 'discover' this place, instead of allying herself with the Indigenous and creole communities who are actually still around in Central America? We will see!!)
In a metatextual sense, Silvia is an excuse for me to work out my complicated feelings about being Latina with some English/Scottish ancestry, being raised in the heart of the empire that is the latest in a line of powers who've destroyed my ancestors (I'm US American)-- while also having a lifelong obsession with English literature and a degree in English and Spanish lit :) I want to rewrite how people like me are depicted in English, especially Victorian English, texts, and interrogate my impulse to overly align myself either with the colonized or colonizer!
#you didn't ask for an essay but TOO BAD#tw police violence#tw parental death#silvia salcedo#i am having more and more devastating ideas so. genuinely thanks for that

Guys ok imagine if Jon was a single dad and after Somewhere Else, Martin wakes up without him and finds his daughter sleeping peacefully with no memory of Jon having ever existed. So now Martin has to raise Jon's child by himself while he copes with the grief and also has a mini Jon running around.

To give the benefit of the doubt to anon, I interpreted the question about Quiet's body to be intended as one of closure rather than morbidity. I still don't think it would do Adamant any good to see her sister in that state, though.
Interpret it how you want. Anon is more than welcome to clarify it for themselves. I found the question to be inappropriate. Adamant is a kid. - Cat
-
Also, viewing a body can be the very opposite of closure for some. From what I can gather, it's not a well received part of the process of losing somebody.
On the flip side of the idea it presents closure, there's also the whole 'think of them as you remember them' concept because... bodies aren't a pleasant sight? I never viewed my bio mother's body. I simply didn't want to see her like that. I was also only 13. A kid, just like Adamant is.
And I know full well the state of Quiet's body does not compare. She was mauled to death.
It's also not the first time we've had strange questions about Quiet's body. We've actually had more questions about it than Clever's and idk, something about that makes me feel kinda icky. Like we must see this innocent child's body in order for it to have an impact when... no? Clever seeing the body and becoming sad/furious was enough from a storytelling perspective.
Not to mention bodies don't have the relevance in the IHS universe like they do in our world. There's no funerals, no burials. Because the lions believe in rebirth. A body is deemed a useless, empty vessel that has been done away with in order for something else to be born. So, there's no real desire to view it and/or gain closure on that front. - RJ
